Speak with an advisor in confidence.

Whether you or a loved one is suffering from addiction, the most common emotion associated with seeking treatment for the first time is anxiety. We understand that the amount of questions you have and the emotions they evoke may feel overwhelming.

The first step is to know that your questions and feelings are normal. The next step is to talk to someone about them.

Loveless Connection Drains the Hottest Tub

Hand in hand with Sugar Daddy, pupils doubled, nail polish chipped. He offers to finance a new bra — only if he can pick it. Back in the room, the unmodel turns model, in her choicelessness, she wore it like a smile.

She has blood and teeth and a memory like a wishing well. “Help” she thinks but wouldn’t say. The tea kettle has seen this a million times, it nods and laughs, “You’ve gone too far. This is a one way.”

So she accepts her duty and parts like an ocean, unravels in the too-clean sheets, tucked so tight she can’t feel her ankle. At least she can’t feel something.
